This old bug (in need of mechanical and body work) had been sitting out in a backyard for 6 years, by the time I got it. When I tried to start it I found that the battery was dead and wouldn't take a charge. I bought a new six volt battery and the motor turns over, but even with new gas, won't start.
From my coil wire, I got a very faint spark, but now get next to nothing. Bad coil? Bad voltage regulator? Anything else to look for, that may produce a low spark?
Would like to get it running so I can move it around my yard to the barn where I can work on it.

I pulled a carfax report on it and it was owned by one person. There arent any red flags other than the high mileage. The dealer wants 2500 for it. Is this a decent buy?

After I turn on the ignition, I hit the break first, then hit the clause and move the gear “P” position to gear 1, and then hit the accelerator slowly. As I want to increase the speed, I go to gear 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively. What I do not understand are the following:

1. The manual car is parked. There are no vehicles around (open field). Now can I start the engine, hit the break, hit clause, move the gear “P” position to gear 5, and release the break at the same time. Does this make my manual car move? If no, why not? If yes, can I speed up the car hitting the accelerator now?

2. Suppose I am driving my manual car at 60 zone. My gear position is at 5 gear position. I see the red light and I hit the break to slow down to a stop before the light without changing the gear. Can I do this? If no, why not? In addition, after the green light, if I hit the accelerator with the gear position 5 with an intention to speed up, what will happen? Will that work?

I have 3 years left on a boat that I am financing. Paying for the boat is not the issue. The issue is that no one in my family is ever around to use it. Is it possible to sell the boat while I am still financing it?
